Dear Ms. Walker,

As Shanaya and Aaliys' 3rd grade year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible role you've played in their life this year.

Watching girls grow---not just in knowledge, but in confidence, kindness, and maturity---has been a true gift. So much of that growth is thanks to the safe, supportive, and inspiring classroom environment you created. Your patience, your encouragement, and your belief in each of your students truly made a difference.

Both have come home so many days excited to share something they learned or a moment that made them feel proud. It's clear that you see and nurture each child for who they are, and that has meant the world to us.

Thank you for being a guiding light during such an important year in girls' lives. We will always carry the impact you've made with deep gratitude.

With heartfelt thanks,
Prital Patel
